first over all Data Carddass(データカードダスDēta Kādodasu?) is a series of Japanese arcade machines created by Bandai, which largely focus around the use of collectibletrading cards. It is an expansion of Bandai's Carddass collectible card series, which allows players to use special cards to interact with games. Many of these machines revolve around various anime franchises owned by Bandai.

Data Carddass make use of special Carddass cards with data stored on them. These collectible cards can be read by various Data Carddass machines in order to interact with the game. For example, in Aikatsu!, a game revolving around fashion, players can scan cards featuring various clothes to make their character wear them. Depending on the machine, cards can either be inserted via a slot or scanned via a flat panel. Each machine is also fitted with various controls unique to their specific minigames, such as buttons which require timed presses or touches. Performing well in these games can also grant additional cards. Select machines utilise IC cards, which allow frequent players to save personal data from the games. Certain machines can also scan collectible toys to affect the gameplay.

Tamastetchi

amastetchi (たまステっち Tamasutetchi) is a female Tamagotchi character. She is normally used for the Tamagotchi Carddas games, and first released on the first Tamagotchi Carddas game back in 2007, in Japan.

Personality

Tamastetchi can find any Tamagotchi character in her book full of Tamagotchi cards, one card representing one Tamagotchi character in the book. When you want to find someone, you ask her and she will get the card of that character out of her book, and call the person on her Terulin like cellphone. Then she will give you the cellphone to talk to the person. Similar to the 2009 - 2011 Tamagotchi! Carddas game.

From 2007 till the release of the TV anime show, Tamagotchi!. Tamastetchi's appearance resembled the past first and second Tamagotchi Carddasvending machines. But when the TV anime show, Tamagotchi! released. Tamastetchi's appearance changed with only one button, and an added Terulin cellphone to talk to Tamagotchi characters. Her hat was also changed along with a few tiny details.
